Katie & Mark August 15th 2014

This is a long testimonial from a lovely couple but I could not shorten it down as it tells you all about Katie and Mark’s journey from start to finish as they worked with Elite Tents.

“We knew from the outset that we wanted our wedding to have a rustic twist and having exhausted local venues we started looking into marquees. We knew we didn’t want any old bog standard white marquee and were delighted when we discovered Elite Tent’s Tipis.

I viewed the tipis without my husband to be on a dreary rainy day in March, but even in these conditions I knew immediately that they were perfect for us! I was greeted by a toasty fire and a hot chocolate and Jaquie and her team made me feel incredibly welcome.

The Tipis presented a wonderful option for us, with flexibility around capacity and location and I just knew that my guests would get the same “Wow” I had when I saw the tipis for the first time.

A few days before the wedding, Richard and a team of guys appeared on site, right on time and promptly got to work, by 15:00 the tipis were up and looked fantastic! They were just as we hoped and gave us the perfect venue for our reception.

As predicted, the “Wow!” reactions started rolling in, we had our glass and crockery delivered, the delivery man was so impressed he had to take some photos as he said he’d never seen anything like them before!! The bar staff were much the same, and my bridesmaids, and our families…. you get the idea!!

On the day, the Tipis were perfect, a wonderful mix of rustic charm and comfort, the fire pit gently crackled away keeping us cosy whilst the guests had their dinner before they all made very good use of the dance floor! I couldn’t imagine having had any other venue for our wedding reception.

After the wedding day was over, the tipis were dismantled with just the same care and attention as when they had gone up with no damage left to the site leaving only wonderful memories that we will look back on for years to come. We can’t thank and recommend the Elite tents team enough for their wonderful service from the very first day I saw the tipis, to our wedding day and beyond. They truly helped us create a memorable day which we will never forget.”

I contacted Jacquie and the team at Elite Tents as I was organising my 26th birthday for 40+ people. They were tremendously professional throughout, helping me choose the interiors and extras, and helping me keep within my budget. The setup team were very efficient both putting up and taking down the tipi. Most importantly of all the Big Hat Tipi looked absolutely spectacular! I can’t emphasise enough what a game changer it was for an event which I have thrown a couple of times before. It saved us from an unexpectedly wet British summer, and once we decked it out with some professional speakers, a dj booth, fog machine and UV lights / lasers, it was like being transported into a nightclub. I have had absolutely rave reviews about how remarkable the tipi was. I will definitely be coming back in future. Thanks again! Conrad

Updates along the way

The Elite team were so helpful & were always there for whatever little questions we asked along the way. The service we received before our big day was excellent. With updates along the way and plenty of opportunities to see the tipis at wedding fayres really helped with ideas and how our venue would look on the day.
